Decadent Theatre Company to Present THE PILLOWMAN
Having written eight plays -most recently the multi-award-winning play Hangmen staged in 2015 - and with a solid film career including box office hits In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths, Martin McDonagh will soon see his third feature in cinemas, starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
In McDonagh's award winning play The Pillowman, Katurian lambasted Tupolski: "I think that's probably about the worst title I ever heard... You can't have one comma in a title... That title's almost insane", to which Tupolski responded, "Maybe it's a title that's just way ahead of its time".
Enjoy McDonagh's comedic craftsmanship on stage again this year as Decadent Theatre Company, in association with the Arts Council and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, revive their production of The Pillowman. Following standing ovations in theatres across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in 2015, this production, touring to Tralee, Galway, Belfast, Tallaght, Kilkenny, Carlow, Limerick and Cork, marks the second national tour of this dark but brilliant tragicomedy.
The Pillowman, winner of two Tony Awards and Olivier Award for Best New Play, engages the audience through the police interrogation of a young writer and the fantastical tales he creates. The uneasy laughter provoked by McDonagh's gift for comedy never overrides the emotions of fear and pity felt for the young writer's plight. McDonagh's storytelling skill, combined with Decadent's stellar cast and creative team, will keep the audience on the edge of their seat to the very last line.
The Pillowman features the wonderful dramatic talents of Peter Gowen as Tupolski, Diarmuid Noyes as Katurian, Owen Sharpe as Michal, and Gary Lydon who will reprise his critically acclaimed role as Ariel, under the direction of Andrew Flynn.
